Paleontology Collections Manager Carl Mehling gives us a behind-the-scenes tour of the Big BoneRoom, which houses some of the largest items in the Paleontology collection. Its holdings include one of the largest complete limb bones in the world: the 650-pound thigh bone of the long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur Camarasaurus.
Visitors will be able to see this spectacular specimen in the upcoming major exhibition The World's Largest Dinosaurs (April 16, 2011-January 2, 2012), which explores the amazing anatomy of a uniquely super-sized group of dinosaurs, the sauropods.
More than 3 million specimens make up the Museum's world-class paleontology collections, and only a small fraction can be displayed at any given time. In fact, only 0.02 percent of the Museum's vertebrate paleontology specimens are on view; the rest are stored behind the scenes, where they continue to be studied by Museum scientists and their colleagues.

If the Museum is Where the People Are then you Are the Museum.
In October 2015UCL Museums and Collections worked on a community film with StratfordRising member, Salmagundi Films as part of The Museum is Where the People Are project. The project was part of PACE's engagement strategy with Stratford and the surrounding areas ahead of UCL East's new campus being built on the Olympic Park site.
Some things we find. Some things find us.
Salmagundi Films and UCL Museums and Collections delivered digital workshops with community groups from the surrounding areas to the Queen Elizabeth II Olympic Park. In these workshops participants explored the theme of what a museum collection means, how they saw themselves as being a collection in their own right and objects they cherished or had collected over time.
These themes were further explored in the workshops through photography and stop-frame animation using i-pads to create a final short animated film called PRICELESS.
The film was premiered at The Museum is Where the People Are event in the TimberLodge cafe in Stratford on Friday 30 October2015.
Participants included: East Village residents, pupils from Chobham Academy and residents from Centenary House sheltered accommodation, Stratford.
We'd like to thank all the participants that took part for their creativity, ideas and contribution to the project. A huge thank you also to Salmagundi Films for all their inspiration and hard work.

Although reaching a low chart placing outside the top 100, the band built up a dedicated and loyal fanbase through touring and promotion. The album itself is widely viewed as some of I Am Kloot's best work to date. Prior to the album's release, the band released two singles on Ugly Man Records: "Titanic"/"To You" in November 1999, and "Twist"/"86 TV's" in March 2000. The album itself spawned two further singles: "Dark Star" in February 2001, and "Morning Rain" in July 2001.

Natural History (magazine)

Natural History is a natural historymagazine published in the United States. The stated mission of the magazine is to promote public understanding and appreciation of nature and science.

History

Founded in 1900 by the American Museum of Natural History, Natural History was first titled The American Museum Journal. In 2002, the magazine was purchased from the Museum by a new company, headed at the time by Charles Harris. As of 2013 the magazine is published in North Carolina by Howard Richman. There are 10 issues published annually.

Since its founding, Natural History has chronicled the major expeditions and research findings by curators at the American Museum of Natural History and at other natural history museums and science centers. Stephen Jay Gould's column, "This View of Life," was a regular feature of the magazine from 1974 until he retired the column in 2001. Other regular columnists and contributing authors include Neil deGrasse Tyson, Jared Diamond, Richard Dawkins, Norman D. Newell, and Thomas Nicholson.

The museum is home to life and earth science specimens comprising some 80 million items within five main collections: botany, entomology, mineralogy, paleontology and zoology. The museum is a world-renowned centre of research specialising in taxonomy, identification and conservation. Given the age of the institution, many of the collections have great historical as well as scientific value, such as specimens collected by Charles Darwin. The museum is particularly famous for its exhibition of dinosaur skeletons and ornate architecture—sometimes dubbed a cathedral of nature—both exemplified by the large Diplodocus cast which dominates the vaulted central hall. The Natural History Museum Library contains extensive books, journals, manuscripts, and artwork collections linked to the work and research of the scientific departments; access to the library is by appointment only. The museum is recognised as the pre-eminent centre of natural history and research of related fields in the world.

The World's Greatest Modern Supercar Collection .... Updated!

A few years ago I visited the SBHRoyalAutoGallery in Abu Dhabi and at the time decided it fairly appropriately deserved the title of "The World's GreatestModernSupercarCollection" as it features pretty much every hypercar from recent times. Yes, there are notable exceptions, but generally speaking most of the poster cars of my own generation are sat in this one gallery.
During the FerrariClubUAEparade to Yas Marina for the 2015Grand Prix, I was able to return to SBH to take another look around, and see the latest additions that including: LaFerrari, McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder and more. There is no question that this is one of greatest collection of modern cars; perhaps you could add a Ferrari 288 GTO, and I think a Koenigsegg or Pagani, or two, wouldn't go amiss, but there aren't many opportunities to enjoy a collection as strong as this!
A huge thanks goes to both the Ferrari Club UAE, and also to the owner, ksn_11, for the hospitality and opportunity to visit.

VATICAN CITY MUSEUMS TOUR GUIDE - MUST SEE IN ROME ITALY

VATICAN CITY MUSEUMS TOUR GUIDE - MUST SEE IN ROME ITALY

VATICAN CITY MUSEUMS TOUR GUIDE - MUST SEE IN ROME ITALY

THE VATICAN MUSEUMS ROMEClose to St Peter's Basilica are the corridors of the Vatican Museums that attract 4 million people every year from all over the world. A marvelous journey that will take us through a constellation of 13 museums and see some of the greatest treasures of humanity.
They present the preserved and extraordinary legacy of culture, history, and beauty that the Roman Pontiffs have collected and preserved for centuries: this is the mission of the Vatican Museums today.
The Vatican Museums are plural as they are a complex of different collections, all extraordinarily important. Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek and Roman, Christian, and epigraphic, paintings of several centuries and the great Renaissance of Raphael and Michelangelo in the “Rooms” and the Sistine Chapel. And then there are the decorative arts, the ethnological collections, the historical collections, the carriages and the papal berlins, up to modern and contemporary art.
A dynamic museum where tradition and innovation find a perfect synthesis, able to render concrete what the Roman Church has pursued for centuries in her cultural institutions.
Tradition, to be dated back to Pope Julius II, to that 1506 which saw the creation of the “Courtyard of the Statues”, the most celebrated in Rome at the time, in the heart of the Vatican Belvedere. Then, the great museum era of the eighteenth century, passing through Canova and reaching, with Pope Pius XI in the aftermath of the Lateran Treaty of 1929, an organic and effective institutional order for the Museums, made accessible to the world via the portal opened in the Vatican Walls. Tradition that is protection, restoration, conservation and enhancement of the collections through study, research, teaching, international projects, conferences and exhibitions.
Innovation, which is indispensable today for the functioning of an Institution that receives millions of visitors each year, and where thousands of people, employees and collaborators, work every day. Innovation that enables the Museums collections to be appreciated in a dynamic and current way, and which through this new web site enables the most remote places of our world to be reached.
It is my hope that every visitor who enters the Vatican Museums is pervaded by that sense of privilege at finding oneself inside the Beauty that leads to Faith, and that this digital tool may also be a vehicle for knowledge, harmony and spirituality.
Pinecone Courtyard. The pinecone fountain is made out of bronze and was found near the Pantheon but was originally on top of Hadrian's mausoleum, water use to pour out of the scales.
The 2 bronze peacocks on each side also came from the Mausoleum.
Sphere within a Sphere.
The Octagonal court was the first of the museum palaces built by Pope Julius II. The statue of Apollo was the first statue in 1503 and later Popes added to the collection.

Otters in UK city rivers? Might not be as far off as you think, according to Alison Fairbrass, a PhD candidate at UCL's Centre for Biodiversity and EnvironmentResearch. This is the first in a series of four short films on how researchers at UCL use little-known objects in our Museums and Collections.

Paleontology Collections Manager Carl Mehling gives us a behind-the-scenes tour of the Big BoneRoom, which houses some of the largest items in the Paleontology collection. Its holdings include one of the largest complete limb bones in the world: the 650-pound thigh bone of the long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur Camarasaurus.
Visitors will be able to see this spectacular specimen in the upcoming major exhibition The World's Largest Dinosaurs (April 16, 2011-January 2, 2012), which explores the amazing anatomy of a uniquely super-sized group of dinosaurs, the sauropods.
More than 3 million specimens make up the Museum's world-class paleontology collections, and only a small fraction can be displayed at any given time. In fact, only 0.02 percent of the Museum's vertebrate paleontology specimens are on view; the rest are stored behind the scenes, where they continue to be studied by Museum scientists and their colleagues.

If the Museum is Where the People Are then you Are the Museum.
In October 2015UCL Museums and Collections worked on a community film with StratfordRising member, Salmagundi Films as part of The Museum is Where the People Are project. The project was part of PACE's engagement strategy with Stratford and the surrounding areas ahead of UCL East's new campus being built on the Olympic Park site.
Some things we find. Some things find us.
Salmagundi Films and UCL Museums and Collections delivered digital workshops with community groups from the surrounding areas to the Queen Elizabeth II Olympic Park. In these workshops participants explored the theme of what a museum collection means, how they saw themselves as being a collection in their own right and objects they cherished or had collected over time.
These themes were further explored in the workshops through photography and stop-frame animation using i-pads to create a final short animated film called PRICELESS.
The film was premiered at The Museum is Where the People Are event in the TimberLodge cafe in Stratford on Friday 30 October2015.
Participants included: East Village residents, pupils from Chobham Academy and residents from Centenary House sheltered accommodation, Stratford.
We'd like to thank all the participants that took part for their creativity, ideas and contribution to the project. A huge thank you also to Salmagundi Films for all their inspiration and hard work.

A few years ago I visited the SBHRoyalAutoGallery in Abu Dhabi and at the time decided it fairly appropriately deserved the title of "The World's GreatestModernSupercarCollection" as it features pretty much every hypercar from recent times. Yes, there are notable exceptions, but generally speaking most of the poster cars of my own generation are sat in this one gallery.
During the FerrariClubUAEparade to Yas Marina for the 2015Grand Prix, I was able to return to SBH to take another look around, and see the latest additions that including: LaFerrari, McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder and more. There is no question that this is one of greatest collection of modern cars; perhaps you could add a Ferrari 288 GTO, and I think a Koenigsegg or Pagani, or two, wouldn't go amiss, but there aren't many opportunities to enjoy a collection as strong as this!
A huge thanks goes to both the Ferrari Club UAE, and also to the owner, ksn_11, for the hospitality and opportunity to visit.

THE VATICAN MUSEUMS ROMEClose to St Peter's Basilica are the corridors of the Vatican Museums that attract 4 million people every year from all over the world. A marvelous journey that will take us through a constellation of 13 museums and see some of the greatest treasures of humanity.
They present the preserved and extraordinary legacy of culture, history, and beauty that the Roman Pontiffs have collected and preserved for centuries: this is the mission of the Vatican Museums today.
The Vatican Museums are plural as they are a complex of different collections, all extraordinarily important. Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek and Roman, Christian, and epigraphic, paintings of several centuries and the great Renaissance of Raphael and Michelangelo in the “Rooms” and the Sistine Chapel. And then there are the decorative arts, the ethnological collections, the historical collections, the carriages and the papal berlins, up to modern and contemporary art.
A dynamic museum where tradition and innovation find a perfect synthesis, able to render concrete what the Roman Church has pursued for centuries in her cultural institutions.
Tradition, to be dated back to Pope Julius II, to that 1506 which saw the creation of the “Courtyard of the Statues”, the most celebrated in Rome at the time, in the heart of the Vatican Belvedere. Then, the great museum era of the eighteenth century, passing through Canova and reaching, with Pope Pius XI in the aftermath of the Lateran Treaty of 1929, an organic and effective institutional order for the Museums, made accessible to the world via the portal opened in the Vatican Walls. Tradition that is protection, restoration, conservation and enhancement of the collections through study, research, teaching, international projects, conferences and exhibitions.
Innovation, which is indispensable today for the functioning of an Institution that receives millions of visitors each year, and where thousands of people, employees and collaborators, work every day. Innovation that enables the Museums collections to be appreciated in a dynamic and current way, and which through this new web site enables the most remote places of our world to be reached.
It is my hope that every visitor who enters the Vatican Museums is pervaded by that sense of privilege at finding oneself inside the Beauty that leads to Faith, and that this digital tool may also be a vehicle for knowledge, harmony and spirituality.

The Nations Biggest Collection Of Racist Objects Are All In A Michigan College Basement (HBO)

DavidPilgrim, a Black sociologist, runs the Jim CrowMuseum of Racist Memorabilia out of the small, white, Trump-voting town of Big Rapids, MI. With the help of private donors like Chuck and Ward, an elderly gay couple, Pilgrim believes that sharing his expansive collection can change the way racism is perceived in the United States.

Collecting the World: Inside the Smithsonian

The SmithsonianNational Museum of Natural History has over 144 million different objects in its collections. A sample of these collections are on display to the public, but 99 percent of the Smithsonian’s treasures remain behind the scenes. Scientists work with these objects to study and decipher the world we live in, each specimen offering its own tiny clue to the natural world.

Inside the Collections: Paleontology and the Big Bone Room

Paleontology Collections Manager Carl Mehling gives us a behind-the-scenes tour of the Big BoneRoom, which houses some of the largest items in the Paleontology collection. Its holdings include one of the largest complete limb bones in the world: the 650-pound thigh bone of the long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur Camarasaurus.
Visitors will be able to see this spectacular specimen in the upcoming major exhibition The World's Largest Dinosaurs (April 16, 2011-January 2, 2012), which explores the amazing anatomy of a uniquely super-sized group of dinosaurs, the sauropods.

PRICELESS - UCL Museums and Collections community film

If the Museum is Where the People Are then you Are the Museum.
In October 2015UCL Museums and Collections worked on a community film with StratfordRising member, Salmagundi Films as part of The Museum is Where the People Are project. The project was part of PACE's engagement strategy with Stratford and the surrounding areas ahead of UCL East's new campus being built on the Olympic Park site.
Some things we find. Some things find us.
Salmagundi Films and UCL Museums and Collections delivered digital workshops with community groups from the surrounding areas to the Queen Elizabeth II Olympic Park. In these workshops participants explored the theme of what a museum collection means, how they saw themselves as being a collection in their own right and objects they cherished or had collected over time.
These themes were further explored in the workshops through photography and stop-frame animation using i-pads to create a final short animated film called PRICELESS.
The film was premiered at The Museum is Where the People Are event in the TimberLodge cafe in Stratford on Friday 30 October2015.
Participants included: East Village residents, pupils from Chobham Academy and residents from Centenary House sheltered accommodation, Stratford.
We'd like to thank all the participants that took part for their creativity, ideas and contribution to the project. A huge thank you also to Salmagundi Films for all their inspiration and hard work.

The World's Greatest Modern Supercar Collection .... Updated!

A few years ago I visited the SBHRoyalAutoGallery in Abu Dhabi and at the time decided it fairly appropriately deserved the title of "The World's GreatestModernSupercarCollection" as it features pretty much every hypercar from recent times. Yes, there are notable exceptions, but generally speaking most of the poster cars of my own generation are sat in this one gallery.
During the FerrariClubUAEparade to Yas Marina for the 2015Grand Prix, I was able to return to SBH to take another look around, and see the latest additions that including: LaFerrari, McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder and more. There is no question that this is one of greatest collection of modern cars; perhaps you could add a Ferrari 288 GTO, and I think a Koenigsegg or Pagani, or two, wouldn't go amiss, but there aren't many opportunities to enjoy a collection as strong as this!
